if two whole things are the same, then the pieces must be the same (since the pieces compose of the whole thing)

example: say you have 2 identical homes
every piece of the homes must be the same, so they must have the same door (if the two homes were identical)

the two triangles are congruent by the SSS property
jimthompson5910 (jim_thompson5910):
so by CPCTC (corresponding parts of congruent triangles are congruent), we can say these two corresponding angles are congruent
